My kids will have a blast in this raft...and I can use it to fish while they have fun swimming in the lake. This dinghy is a good size; but it's not gonna fit five people (two adults MAX...and maybe a small child). I erred on the side of caution and under-inflated it a little bit; the instructions were really FIRM about not over inflating it. I gave this dinghy four stars, because the instructions were actually awful...common sense had to rule the day. Each item had a corresponding letter in the items list; but the written instructions have them numbered....and to add a little more confusion to it the numbers on the boat itself didn't correspond to the numbers in the instructions. Lol The other bit of confusion came when I flipped the dinghy over to see the bottom, I realized there were two more inflation cells the instructions didn't even mention....these bottom cells keep the boat balanced. So I let some air out of the main cells, inflated the bottom cells....and I was back in business. Lol I took it to the lake for it's Maiden Voyage (YAY!!) and had a blast with it! The oars come up short....another foot to the length would have been great. It seemed to be easier to oar with one oar than both because of this. Also, the hand pump stinks....so I cheated and used a portable air compressor. This boat is perfect for big kids and teens to have an absolute BLAST on the lake; or an adult or two wanting to fish. I'll be using it for BOTH instances! Lol! I like this dinghy; it's great for throwing in the trunk with a couple of poles and a cooler full of icy beverages....or turning the kids loose in it on the water for a day of summer fun.
